 Expensive lesson.     Thinking out loud it is far from proportionate to far more serious crimes against people. meaing people who assult others seem to get off lighter?

 I agree Tom. I don't think the penalties here are too high though - more that other crimes are often not given enough of a penalty IMHO.

 Because they threw them back tells me they knew what they were doing and throws the “I didn’t know” well out the window

 Throw the book at these

 Throw the book at these fucks, the absolute bullshit excuses they come out with are just pathetic. They know full well they are breaking the law and that is shown when confronted by fisheries.

Look up in the sky, is it a bird is it a plane, no it's

No, it's the Fisheries new drone. according to the local rag the Fisheries intend to start using their new drone to gather information on just what people are up to in certain crabbing areas, Great stuff IMO.
Also of great interest is that they intend to use it at night, now that is really high tech

Great stuff Fisheries well done on taking the policing of the crab fishery to a new level.
